Tet3 is the main α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenase in neurons that converts 5-methyl-dC into 5-hydroxymethyl-dC and further on to 5-formyl- and 5-carboxy-dC. Neurons possess high levels of 5-hydroxymethyl-dC that further increase during neural activity to establish transcriptional plast...
Mitochondrial heat shock proteins and co-chaperones play essential roles in maintaining proteostasis. They are renowned for regulating unfolded proteins, usually without specific target preferences. In this study, we identified T cell activation inhibitor, mitochondria (TCAIM), as a novel DNAJC-t...
The energy sensor AMPK promotes tumor cell survival under stress, but how to prevent AMPK activation to blunt tumor progression remains unclear. Here we show that the metabolite α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) controls AMPK translation through a TET-YBX1 axis, which can be exploited to sensitize human can...
